three

Well, yes, it has been a while since A's birthday...don't judge :). She had a good day and even woke up to a "3" shaped pancake that her daddy made. I think in the picture after this one, she was crying...she was feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the love. I love the cautious side of A and am thankful for that trait in many ways, but I am also grateful that she seems to be growing out of it a bit! :) (Oh, and I just realized she was in a high chair on her third birthday...we sold our table and were waiting on the new one :).

Her party was on her actual birthday this year, so that was fun, but I do not know if I will do that again...I like being able to give them more attention on their special day!

This year, since "ice cream" is such a big thing to her (although the "ice cream" place that we frequent is actually yogurt...shhh), we decided on an ice cream shoppe/parlour theme.

These are hamburger cookies (peanut butter cookies with brownie in the middle)...sugar overload.

Ice cream sundae cupcakes

Stan made milkshakes and even wore a diner hat...guess I didn't get a pic of that :).

A few friends from down the road came to the party. The kids made ice cream cones out of balloons and party hats. (Tied a string onto balloon and threaded through hole in hat.) They decorated with stickers (sprinkles) and a red pom (cherry) on top. I found this idea somewhere online but cannot remember where...

1. I have missed your posts. I suppose having two busy little girls is a good excuse for not blogging as often;)2. Your girls are getting so big! 3. I love the party theme! And I also love frozen yogurt...4. I believe you said at one point you were going to start a website to showcase/sell your art...I think that needs to happen.

Oh Happy Late Birthday big girl! I can't believe she is already 3, Lindsey! Where has the time gone? Oh and what a sweet party you put together! You are such a creative inspiration to me. God has given you a wonderful talent :o)

Hi family and friends! Stan and I decided to post this blog to keep all of you updated on the goings-on of our small but growing family :). We hope you find yourselves somewhat entertained as you explore our simple, extremely blessed lives. As I write this, I am inclined to say that ultimately, through all of the high, low, and in-between moments and days we will inevitably and hopefully have, God deserves all of the honor and praise that our family can give. We love you all!
